Apparently, Kelly Hughes didn't have enough on her mind Tuesday besides getting through the school day, preparing for a game against Jackson Liberty and possibly breaking the Point Boro career scoring record held by 1993 graduate Christie Rampone (formerly Christie Pearce), a beloved figure at the Jersey Shore and arguably the Shore Conference's greatest athlete regardless of gender or sport.

In an act that was clearly out of respect for the Panthers senior, her head coach, Dave Drew, inadvertently made sure Hughes wouldn't forget what Tuesday night could possibly bring.
